in the summer of this hot November

we might be like those flowers 
who fall asleep and then
fall apart into seeds

our heartbeats almost habit 
not so much choice--
more like a chore

are you loving the summer 
of this hot November
(I know I'm not)

believe me when I tell you
I've searched for hope
and well... I have

It has been so warm here, too! I think it might have hit 80 over the weekend and a lot of days in the 70s. Today it's only supposed to get up to 62. It's unnatural.
